just because of Harikhamboji Raga; C Major Chord is used in this song; normally D Major scale does not fit C Major Chord; only C#dim fits the scale; but the flattened seventh now gives C major chord a go in the scale

I agree with you. The song is basically a western style one and the raga is just coincidental. I applied C Major tab positions on the tonic note D and hence the tabs. The flattened 7th note is the key variation from a major scale.

I did little more research. Theoretically, if the chord is C major (parental chord) then the song should be in G Mixolydian scale. I should start with G and not with D. Can you please confirm the parental chord for this song?

parental chord is D Major only, D Major in Mixolydian mode; Keyboard is based on Diatonic Scale; if you can take all modes they would just contains notes of a C Major Scale; i.e only the white keys are played and the tonic note would change accordingly

The beatles song melody "Eleanor Rigby" is in Dorian Mode but in Eminor(Not in Dminor)
